I worked at JCP salon for two years. At this time my son was an infant. He would get sick so I would have to take off work.Strike one:One time he was hospitalized for the flu. I had the hospital and his dr fax my manager all of his papers and everything they needed for me being off work for over a week with my baby. When I returned to work not only did I get a verbal warning for large amount of days missed but also "wrote up". Strike two: I missed a Saturday of work because I had a horrible stomach virus. An employee decided it would be funny to make up that I had went out of town to visit my boyfriend. Well that was a lie considering my fiancé and I had lived together in the same house for 3 years. My manager believed them! Another verbal warning. Strike 3: I wasn't making enough money and didn't have very high productivity being a new hair dresser so I decided to get another job along with that one. When the manager found out she put me on the spot in front of the whole salon and called the state board on speaker phone trying to say it was illegal for me to work anywhere else. Which it's not all. (And she was a store manager. Shouldn't those people know salon laws?) anyways, I quit. And have been super happily self employed for the past 5 years. JCP not a family company.

Worked well with others, whenever I asked for help someone was always there to explain or do a little hands on training. The one thing I liked was If there was a family issue, they would take an excuse. We could put in overtime without questions asked espciall during holidays.

You get a 25 % off discount on clothing! Hours varied every week and pay wasn't as great. They only hire for part time too. You would ring up customer transactions and they pushed getting customers to sign up for a JC Penney card. Sometimes days were slow.

I love being in a department store especially working in the kids section and seeing all of the cute things. The time kind of goes by fast when you're actually doing what you need to do. Around the holidays it gets really busy, especially Christmas.

I really enjoyed working at this place of business. It was very fast paced and productive. We were required to keep the store organized and make sure that all items were kept where they belonged. The staff there were all very friendly and make working there so much easier.

Get to work have a morning meeting very fun and also won prizes and get to talk about our goals for the day, then we go to the register and open and count it. I absolutely loved working with the customer and helping them find what their heart desired!

Typical day at work consists of unloading the truck, unpacking and organizing the merchandise and putting it to the floor in a nice neat and timely manner. My co-workers are hard-working and easy to get along with it. Management is easy going and easy to get along with. Most enjoyable part of the job is getting my work done and knowing my check in waiting on me so I can spend it on my babies.

Coming in checking emails Answering customer related issues Door to floor shipment planning coaching in the moment engagement with associates and customers hardest part of my Job would that you have to perform a job, under staffed

JCPenney is a good place to work if you are single, a college student, someone looking for a second or part time job, or even if its your first job. Associates are friendly and work well together. Management works well around your personal schedule. For the most part, hours are flexible.

On the other hand, the salary does not reflect the responsibilities and tasks performed on a daily basis. You certainly cannot support a family solely on a JCP salary.

Merchandise set execution supervisor (Current Employee), Bronx New york – July 28, 2015

Pros: employee insentives / breakfast, sometimes lunch .

Cons: short schedule for the associates

Assiging my co-workers to their projects having them accomplished in a timly manner,I like the retail industry because I meet a lot of interesting clients , My associates are very nice to work with and they are very had working

They hired me with no experience which is awesome to get experience however, once you have worked they for a while there is not much room for advancement. Great starting job though, they taught me everything I needed to know about retail.

Cons: No carts in the department which made it difficult to help disability people.

A typical day at work includes helping many customers and organizing department products. Customer Service included helping customers in store and on the phone. I improved my communication as well as my teamwork skills. I also have a stronger work ethic. The hardest part of the job was answering questions from customers which I didn't have answer to, but I would direct them to people who knew the answers. The most enjoyable part is just being able to help customers with what they are trying to find.
